Hi,
I am having a strange problem with my installer.
Basically i have an installer for a c# com office addin. It uses a custom UI
that has a combo box on it.
The combobox sets a public property loglevel which has a default value of 1:
<Property Id="LOGLEVEL" Value="1" />
my custom UI code is as follows:
<UIRef Id="WixUI_Common" />
<UIRef Id="WixUI_ErrorProgressText" />
<UI>
<Property Id="DefaultUIFont" Value="WixUI_Font_Normal" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Normal" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="8" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Bigger" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="12" />
<TextStyle Id="WixUI_Font_Title" FaceName="Tahoma" Size="9" Bold="yes" />
<Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="TARGETDIR" />
<Property Id="ARPNOMODIFY" Value="1" />
<DialogRef Id="BrowseDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="DiskCostDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="ErrorDlg" />
<DialogRef Id="FatalError" />
<DialogRef Id="FilesInUse" />
<DialogRef Id="MsiRMFilesInUse" />

</UI>
This works fine when i build the msi and run it. My combobox works as you would
expect and the public propery is set correctly based on user choice. click
here for screenshot
The problem is that when I add a bootstrapper to the installation the combobox
becomes locked. I click on the setup.exe. My bootstrapped components get
installed and then the installer runs. When it get to my custom combobox screen
only the default value appears and when you click to expand the combobox
nothing happens. click here for screenshot
I added the bootstrapper by inserting the follolowing code into the wixproj
file as I have done for previous installers:
<ItemGroup>
<BootstrapperFile Include=" Microsoft.Windows.Installer.3.1">
<ProductName>Windows Installer 3.1</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0">
<ProductName>.NET Framework 2.0</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
<BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Office.PIA.XP">
<ProductName>Office XP Interop Assemblies</ProductName>
</BootstrapperFile>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="Bootstrapper" Inputs="$(OutDir)$(TargetFileName)"
Outputs="$(OutDir)\Setup.exe" Condition=" '$(OutputType)'=='package' ">
<GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationName="Case Study Prerequisites"
ApplicationFile="$(TargetFileName)" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)"
ComponentsLocation="Relative" OutputPath="$(OutputPath)" Culture="en-US" />
</Target>
<Import Project="$(WixTargetsPath)" />
<PropertyGroup>
<BuildDependsOn>$(BuildDependsOn);Bootstrapper</BuildDependsOn>
</PropertyGroup>
The only difference i could see with this was that in the wixproj file there
was no "builddependson" line
<BuildDependsOn>$(BuildDependsOn);Bootstrapper</BuildDependsOn>
the last time i added a bootstrapper i replaced thias line. In my wixprojfile
for theis installer this line was missing so I just inserted the bootstrapper
code.
If anyone copuld point me in the right direction i would be very grateful as i
have lost a lot of time trying to track down this problem
Kind Regards,
Barry
